    Chapter 50·Conflict

    “What?” Zhu Mingyue asked again as if she didn’t hear clearly.

    “I said I would help you with game design.” Qi Zhixuan spoke clearly and firmly.

    There was no immediate response from the other end of the phone, only a quick click of high heels was heard. As the footsteps faded away, the noise gradually dissipated and the surrounding area became quiet.

    “You little brat, how did you know that?” In the quiet background, Zhu Mingyue suddenly raised the volume, which made Qi Zhixuan’s ears itch, and he quickly took the phone away and rubbed it.

    “Oh, you don’t need to.” Zhu Mingyue didn’t ask any more questions, her tone was deep.

    After a moment of silence, Qi Zhixuan seemed to hear the soft “click” of the lighter. The next second, Zhu Mingyue became lively again, “I don’t believe it. We are serious about designing, but we can’t do it with a pile of materials!”

    “Sister.” Qi Zhixuan suddenly softened his tone and called out softly. He had always called him senior sister since he was a child. Unless he got into trouble and wanted Zhu Mingyue to take the blame, he would call her “sister” awkwardly.

    Zhu Mingyue didn’t answer, so he continued, “This matter started because of me. You are my sister and my family. How can I let you rush in front alone every time while I hide.”

    He sighed slightly and said every word in a serious tone: “Sister, you have done enough for me over the years.”

    The friendship from childhood to adulthood, the care when the mother passed away, the companionship when the father left, the love and persistence when he was sick, no one did more than Zhu Mingyue. They were not related by blood, but they had a family relationship that was more precious and pure than blood.

    After waiting for a while, Zhu Mingyue still didn’t answer, and Qi Zhixuan became a little anxious.

    “Why don’t you let me come with you? The doctor said that my health is well. Why don’t you also let me go to your company? Although my level is average, participating may not necessarily help a lot, but… but more people can share the strength, senior sister!”

    Qi Zhixuan talked hurriedly, and Zhu Mingyue laughed. If his skills were not good, then there was no one good. When they were in college, they worked together on so many designs and won so many awards. Except for his inexperience in using some design software, his creativity and hand-drawing were simply top-notch, right?

    “Are you a fool?” Zhu Mingyue cursed, but her voice had an imperceptible nasal sound, “If you want to join, you have to come to Haicheng often. Your store will not open? No more love?”

    After listening to Zhu Mingyue’s words, Qi Zhixuan scratched his head here. The store has to be opened, and love… also needs to be talked about.

    “Now that the Internet is so convenient, remote collaboration is also possible!” He quickly explained, “I have already mastered a lot of design software, and I don’t need any additional guidance from you. If I really need to be there in person, it only takes me two hours to fly there, which is very convenient!”

    “Okay, okay, I’m convinced.” Zhu Mingyue smiled and compromised. In fact, she had been looking forward to Qi Zhixuan returning to Haicheng, preferably working in her own company. Now that he has offered to help, that is the best thing. “You can come if you want. Anyway, it is not certain whether you will win the bid. I will inform you when the subsequent project meeting is held. I won’t say anymore, dozens of people are still waiting for my meeting!”

    “Okay.” Qi Zhixuan agreed quickly and added, “But senior sister, it’s time for you to teach Xiao Wang some confidentiality lessons. Don’t just say the same thing. Bye.”

    “You…”

    Qi Zhixuan betrayed poor Xiao Wang with a smile, and hung up the phone before his senior sister could react. Zhu Mingyue was so angry at the little bastard that she lied to others, and in the end blamed her for not teaching the assistant well!

    After hanging up the phone, Qi Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn’t know what the outcome would be, at least he was able to participate in the whole process. Let’s go all out.

    Looking at the situation with Boss Jiang, it was really puzzling. It turned out that Jiang Xianfan didn’t have a good attitude toward Liang Yuansheng, so he didn’t know how he agreed to compromise.

    Chen Runsong has always been thinking about this matter. Although Qi Zhixuan said not to ask, he still couldn’t help but wonder. Is it possible for a large company to be plagiarized and abused?What is the copyright used for?Moreover, this person has a lot of misdeeds, which is really unsettling.

    But Chen Runsong made several calls and Jiang Xianfan didn’t answer, and finally turned off his phone. When he went to Leading Art to deliver afternoon tea in the afternoon, he found out that he didn’t come to work at all today.

    You know, Jiang Xianfan always carries an iron umbrella to go to work when he performs a knife attack. Chen Runsong has never seen anyone who loves going to work more than him. Such a person did not come to work today, and he couldn’t be contacted!A strong uneasiness surged into his heart. After serving the afternoon tea, he drove directly to Jiang Xianfan’s house without thinking much.

    Jiang Xianfan mostly lives in his own house close to the company on weekdays, and goes back to his mother’s place on weekends or holidays. Today is Wednesday, and Chen Runsong thought he should be at his own home, so he came over.

    Chen Runsong parked the car and looked at the appearance of his bun in this luxurious garage. It felt a bit weird like a dung beetle in a gold box. He touched his nose awkwardly and walked towards the elevator.

    After walking only two steps, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the Maybach that Jiang Xianfan often drove from the corner of his eye. Although Jiang Xianfan had more than one car, he usually only drove this one. If the car was there, it meant that he was indeed at home.

    Why aren’t you answering the phone at home? Are you sick and confused with a fever?Or did you knock your head off while taking a shower at home?The more Chen Runsong thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he ran to the elevator faster.

    Fortunately, Chen Runsong came here many times after they fell in love. Jiang Xianfan had already entered his information into the access control system of the community and home, making it easy to enter and exit.

    The elevator soared all the way to the 11th floor. Chen Runsong was still saying “hurry up, hurry up” in his heart, as if Jiang Xianfan was really going to bleed to death if he was one step too late. But when he arrived at the door of Jiang Xianfan’s house and was about to press his fingerprint to unlock the door, he was startled by the movement inside and stopped.

    “Why are you disobedient!” A female roar came from inside the door.

    Chen Runsong knew that this was the voice of Jiang Xianfan’s mother.

    In fact, Jiang Xianfan took him to see his mother once. Before going, Jiang Xianfan was very excited and Chen Runsong was very nervous. But after the visit, both of them were silent.

    Jiang Xianfan’s mother is very beautiful, an elegant and delicate middle-aged woman. Even at home, she is well dressed, but she looks a little haggard because of illness.Before Chen Runsong went there, he was actually worried that his mother wouldn’t be able to accept it. After all, they have the same gender, their family conditions are quite different, and Jiang Xianfan is the only child in their family.

    But Ms. Jiang didn’t seem to care at all, didn’t care whether Jiang Xianfan was in love with a man or a woman, didn’t care about Jiang Xianfan’s love, and didn’t care about Jiang Xianfan.

    Ms. Jiang was unusually cold towards her son, and he was not the only one. She seemed to be indifferent to everything. She only smiled happily when she introduced the painting Qi Zhixuan had repaired to Chen Runsong. Only then did Chen Runsong discover that Ms. Jiang also had pear dimples.

    They had a simple meal that time and then left. On the way back, Jiang Xianfan was so silent that it was scary.

    Later, he still remembered that Jiang Xianfan was very fierce that night and went crazy as if he wanted to eat him. Chen Runsong had done it with him more than once, but he had never seen him so out of control. In the end, he even pinched Chen Runsong’s lower back and neck and didn’t stop.

    Although it hurt, Chen Runsong saw the brokenness in his eyes and did not blame him. Instead, he held him and coaxed him for a long time, and the out-of-control man slowly calmed down beside Chen Runsong.

    It was also that day that Jiang Xianfan told his life experience intermittently.

    Jiang Xianfan’s surname is Jiang because his mother’s surname is Jiang, and Ms. Jiang’s name is Jiang Linlang. She is the apple of her father’s eye, the most dazzling treasure. Jiang Xian started from scratch and has a fortune. Jiang Linlang can do anything she wants, but she does not have the right to freely choose marriage.

    She and her first boyfriend were forced to separate. Jiang Xian kept asking her for blind dates, but she always refused. Under pressure, she went abroad to choose a sperm donor and gave birth to Jiang Xianfan as his heir. This made Jiang Xian give up the idea of ​​forcing her to get married.

    Only then did Chen Runsong understand that Jiang Xianfan never mentioned his father because he himself did not know who his father was.

    After Jiang Xianfan was born, Jiang Xian completely delegated power to his daughter and taught his grandson carefully. Throughout his childhood, Jiang Xianfan barely saw his mother a few times. It was not until Jiang Xian passed away in junior high school that Linlang had to take this strange son back to her.

    The mother and son had no basis for any relationship at all. The children, who were in sensitive adolescence at that time, could only live their lives fearfully looking at their mother’s expression every day.

    “One time, my mother was drunk. She held my face and cried, saying why are you not his child? Why are you not like him and not like me…” Jiang Xianfan nestled in Chen Runsong’s arms. Although he was holding Chen Runsong down like a fight just now and looked fierce as hell, now he was like an aggrieved puppy caught in the rain. Chen Runsong couldn’t help but kiss his forehead.

    “I first noticed you because you looked like my mother when you smiled.” Jiang Xianfan lay in his arms and reached out to touch his cheek. Chen Runsong responded by twitching the corners of his mouth and letting him touch his dimples.

    “I thought that if I brought my boyfriend back, she would bless me, or at worst, criticize me…” Jiang Xianfan kept rubbing his hands on Chen Runsong’s cheeks.

    “I really want…I really want to have a pear dimple. I also want to look like my mother. I wonder if I look more like her…if she will love me more…” His voice was low and hoarse. Chen Runsong felt so distressed that he wanted to cry. He could only hold Jiang Xianfan in his arms, trying to make him warmer.

    “Bang——”

    A loud sound of broken heavy objects suddenly came from inside the house, instantly drawing Chen Runsong’s attention back.His heart tightened and he felt something bad. He immediately pressed the fingerprint lock, pushed the door open and rushed in.

    As soon as he opened the door, he was shocked. The room was in a mess. Vases, water glasses, and various decorations were all smashed to the ground. He also saw the remains of Jiang Xianfan’s cell phone in the corner of the coffee table. No wonder his phone couldn’t be connected.

    “Why are you here?” Jiang Xianfan stepped forward quickly and protected Chen Runsong behind him. Only then did Chen Runsong find a bloody cut on his face. It didn’t look deep and it should have been scratched by flying debris.

    “I’m worried because you can’t get through on the phone.” Chen Runsong, a caterer, always keeps disinfectant wipes on him. He took one out and gently wiped the wounds on Jiang Xianfan’s face. The stimulation of alcohol made Jiang Xianfan frown, but he didn’t avoid it.

    “Xianfan! Fanfan!” Jiang Linlang suddenly took a few steps forward and shouted Jiang Xianfan’s name in a tearful voice. Jiang Xianfan pushed Chen Runsong behind him.

    “Just promise mom, Xianfan, can you withdraw the lawsuit? He has the letter and photos written by Li Yuchu to me! Look at you, Xiao Chen loves you so much, you have someone who loves you so much, mom, mom also wants someone to love you!” Jiang Linlang started crying as she spoke. Her exquisite suit had been messed up by something that had been knocked over. One of her pearl earrings was missing, and the makeup on her face was also smudged. She was in a mess.

    She cried so hard that she was shaking all over. Chen Runsong felt a little uncomfortable and subconsciously handed over the wet wipes in his hand.

    But the moment he let go, Jiang Linlang suddenly grabbed hold with his backhand, with astonishing force, and actually pulled Chen Runsong directly in front of him!

    “Songsong!” Jiang Xianfan exclaimed, his expression suddenly changed.

    Before Chen Runsong could react, he felt a chill on his neck. Jiang Linlang pinched a fragment of a ceramic vase in his hand and pressed it tightly against his neck.

    “Withdraw the lawsuit now! Call!! Hurry up! Otherwise I will kill him!” Chen Runsong subconsciously wanted to struggle, but the strength in her hand suddenly increased. The porcelain shards penetrated deeply into the flesh, and bright red blood flowed down her neck.

    “Don’t! Don’t touch him, I’ll fight him! I’ll call him!” Jiang Xianfan’s voice trembled at the red color. He wanted to reach out with his hands to stop him but retracted in fear. He could only obediently touch his phone in his pocket. After touching it for a long time, he remembered that the phone had been thrown away during the argument.

    Chen Runsong resisted the pain in his neck and quickly scanned the situation. Jiang Linlang was going crazy now, and Jiang Xianfan was on the verge of losing control. Now Jiang Xianfan was looking for his cell phone, and Jiang Linlang was staring at Jiang Xianfan. Neither of them was paying attention to him. It was a good time.

    He counted down silently in his heart: 3-2-1!

    That’s it now!

    Chen Runsong instantly sank down and turned around. Using the inertia of his turn, he tightly held Jiang Linlang’s waist with one hand. He raised the palm of his other hand and struck the side of her neck accurately and forcefully. Jiang Linlang groaned, rolled her eyes, her body instantly softened, and she lost consciousness and leaned in his arms.

    “Songsong!” Jiang Xianfan rushed over and took over his mother’s limp body while looking at Chen Runsong eagerly, “How are you? Are you seriously injured?”

    “It’s okay, don’t worry. I’ve used this trick many times. She just fainted, nothing serious.” Chen Runsong handed Jiang Linlang to Jiang Xianfan, and quickly took away the porcelain piece in her hand. Damn it, it was really prickly.

    Jiang Xianfan took the man and carried him to the bedroom, then quickly came out to see Chen Runsong to check his wounds.

    “It’s okay, just a little bit. Don’t worry, let’s sweep the floor first…”

    “I’m sorry… I’m sorry Songsong…” Before Chen Runsong could finish his words, Jiang Xianfan pulled Chen Runsong into his arms. His lips were close to Chen Runsong’s ear bones, which were actually cold, and his voice was trembling and hoarse…
